is becoming the most popular medium to find a partner. If you`ve been single you probably thought about dating sites. There are many legit ones, however, in this article we will explain how to recognize the scammy dating sites and apps.</p>\r\n<p>There are heavily monetized dating sites either for men or women which claim to have a much higher chance for finding you a partner or a &ldquo;one-night stand&rdquo;.</p>\r\n<p>These sites are created to quickly make a fortune without having to compete with already established dating sites. When you register and trying out the site, you may already find a match (might have different terms but idea is the same). This already is suspicious, however, if you`re not sure whether it is a coincidence or a scam check for the characteristics below.</p>\r\n<h2>Kinds of Adult Dating Sites</h2>\r\n<p>There are two kinds of adult dating sites which may be scams:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Subscription sites</strong>: These require your credit card or PayPal account (or other payment method supporting subscriptions).</li>\r\n<li><strong>Pay per message sites</strong>: These are &ldquo;free&rdquo; but in order to contact the &ldquo;date&rdquo; you have to pay a small fee</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>Fake dating sites characteristics</h2>\r\n<p>You can recognize a fake dating site or app in several ways:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Appearance</strong>: An unrealistic number of beautiful women (this we saw the most common) on the site. Most of them will be from range of 21 &ndash; 35 (or older depending on the target audience) and will &ldquo;like&rdquo; you even though you have no profile picture and indicate 60 years old.</li>\r\n<li><strong>Pay for identification</strong>: You only have to pay $ 1, - or $ 0,01 to gain access. The transaction is needed to &ldquo;identify&rdquo; you. These are usually easy ways to get your payment details.</li>\r\n<li><strong>Positive feedback</strong>: If you &ldquo;match&rdquo; with these beautiful women, you may receive your first message very quickly.</li>\r\n<li><strong>Platform</strong>: When you feel closer to the other person, you may ask to go to different medium to communicate so you do not have to pay money for every single message you write. However, usually they refuse saying they feel safe on this platform.</li>\r\n<li><strong>Personal answers</strong>: Personal answers are usually laconic and evasive to prolong the conversation</li>\r\n<li><strong>Suggesting going on a date</strong>: When you feel like you are ready to go on a date, the person will find an excuse not to go. Usually they mention a reason as &ldquo;let`s get know each other better&rdquo;</li>\r\n<li><strong>Argument</strong>: If it happens that you have an argument, the person on the other side will keep just so you do not quit but not win either, so you increase the number of messages sent.</li>\r\n<li><strong>Occupation</strong>: Women or men stating having full-time jobs are online all the time</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>These are typical heavily monetized dating sites, where men and women with fake profiles are aggressively trying to extort as much money as possible, and they might not be shut down because you are willingly writing a message for money.</p>\r\n<h2>Read terms and conditions</h2>"}},{"_template":"Articles\\ImageFull","_identifier":"block-3571","data":{"image":"https://whitelabel-manager-production.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/thumbs/115987452231547789-5e2ed.png_900x.png"}},{"_template":"Articles\\Text","_identifier":"block-3573","data":{"text":"<p>As you can see there are dating sites that have fake profiles for \"entertainment\" purposes and are <strong>not real</strong>.

There are fraudsters making all kinds of claims to trap victims online - from fake investment opportunities to online stores - and the internet allows them to operate from any part of the world with anonymity. The ability to spot online scams is an important skill to have as the virtual world is increasingly becoming a part of every facet of our lives. The below tips will help you identify the signs which can indicate that a website could be a scam.\r\nCommon Sense: Too Good To Be True\r\nWhen looking for goods online, a great deal can be very enticing. A Gucci bag or a new iPhone for half the price? Who wouldn’t want to grab such a deal? Scammers know this too and try to take advantage of the fact.\r\nIf an online deal looks too good to be true, think twice and double-check things. The easiest way to do this is to simply check out the same product at competing websites (that you trust). If the difference in prices is huge, it might be better to double-check the rest of the website.\r\nCheck Out the Social Media Links\r\nSocial media is a core part of ecommerce businesses these days and consumers often expect online shops to have a social media presence. Scammers know this and often insert logos of social media sites on their websites. Scratching beneath the surface often reveals this fu","buttonText":"Read more","renderAsInertiaLink":true},{"id":4,"title":"How Do I Get Money Back From a Scammer?","url":"https://www.scamadviser.com/articles/how-do-i-get-money-back-from-a-scammer","excerpt":"So the worst has come to pass - you realise you parted with your money too fast, and the site you used was a scam - what now? Well first of all, don’t despair!!\r\nIf you think you have been scammed, the first port of call when having an issue is to simply ask for a refund. This is the first and easiest step to determine whether you are dealing with a genuine company or scammers. Sadly, getting your money back from a scammer is not as simple as just asking. \r\nIf you are indeed dealing with scammers, the procedure (and chance) of getting your money back varies depending on the payment method you used.\r\n\r\nPayPal\r\nDebit card/Credit card\r\nBank transfer\r\nWire transfer\r\nGoogle Pay\r\nBitcoin\r\n\r\nPayPal\r\nIf you used PayPal, you have a strong chance of getting your money back if you were scammed. On their website, you can file a dispute within 180 calendar days of your purchase.\r\nConditions to file a dispute:\r\n\r\nThe simplest situation is that you ordered from an online store and it has not arrived. In this case this is what PayPal states: \"If your order never shows up and the seller can't provide proof of shipment or delivery, you'll get a full refund. It's that simple.\"\r\nThe scammer has sent you a completely different item. For example, you ordered a PlayStation 4, but instead received only a Playstation controller. \r\nThe condition of the item was misrepresented on the product page.

block__inner--small-bottom"><p>Internet is becoming the most popular medium to find a partner. If you`ve been single you probably thought about dating sites. There are many legit ones, however, in this article we will explain how to recognize the scammy dating sites and apps.<p>There are heavily monetized dating sites either for men or women which claim to have a much higher chance for finding you a partner or a “one-night stand”.<p>These sites are created to quickly make a fortune without having to compete with already established dating sites. When you register and trying out the site, you may already find a match (might have different terms but idea is the same). This already is suspicious, however, if you`re not sure whether it is a coincidence or a scam check for the characteristics below.<h2>Kinds of Adult Dating Sites</h2><p>There are two kinds of adult dating sites which may be scams:<ul><li><strong>Subscription sites</strong>: These require your credit card or PayPal account (or other payment method supporting subscriptions).<li><strong>Pay per message sites</strong>: These are “free” but in order to contact the “date” you have to pay a small fee</ul><h2>Fake dating sites characteristics</h2><p>You can recognize a fake dating site or app in several ways:<ul><li><strong>Appearance</strong>: An unrealistic number of beautiful women (this we saw the most common) on the site. Most of them will be from range of 21 – 35 (or older depending on the target audience) and will “like” you even though you have no profile picture and indicate 60 years old.<li><strong>Pay for identification</strong>: You only have to pay $ 1, - or $ 0,01 to gain access. The transaction is needed to “identify” you. These are usually easy ways to get your payment details.<li><strong>Positive feedback</strong>: If you “match” with these beautiful women, you may receive your first message very quickly.<li><strong>Platform</strong>: When you feel closer to the other person, you may ask to go to different medium to communicate so you do not have to pay money for every single message you write. However, usually they refuse saying they feel safe on this platform.<li><strong>Personal answers</strong>: Personal answers are usually laconic and evasive to prolong the conversation<li><strong>Suggesting going on a date</strong>: When you feel like you are ready to go on a date, the person will find an excuse not to go. Usually they mention a reason as “let`s get know each other better”<li><strong>Argument</strong>: If it happens that you have an argument, the person on the other side will keep just so you do not quit but not win either, so you increase the number of messages sent.<li><strong>Occupation</strong>: Women or men stating having full-time jobs are online all the time</ul><p>These are typical heavily monetized dating sites, where men and women with fake profiles are aggressively trying to extort as much money as possible, and they might not be shut down because you are willingly writing a message for money.<h2>Read terms and conditions</h2></div><div class="block block__inner--small-bottom"><img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20width=%22900%22%20height=%22529%22%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt class="ezlazyload image__fluid" data-ezsrc=https://whitelabel-manager-production.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/thumbs/115987452231547789-5e2ed.png_900x.png></div><div class="block block__inner--small-bottom"><p>As you can see there are dating sites that have fake profiles for "entertainment" purposes and are <strong>not real</strong>.

There are fraudsters making all kinds of claims to trap victims online - from fake investment opportunities to online stores - and the internet allows them to operate from any part of the world with anonymity. The ability to spot online scams is an important skill to have as the virtual world is increasingly becoming a part of every facet of our lives. The below tips will help you identify the signs which can indicate that a website could be a scam. Common Sense: Too Good To Be True When looking for goods online, a great deal can be very enticing. A Gucci bag or a new iPhone for half the price? Who wouldn’t want to grab such a deal? Scammers know this too and try to take advantage of the fact. If an online deal looks too good to be true, think twice and double-check things. The easiest way to do this is to simply check out the same product at competing websites (that you trust). If the difference in prices is huge, it might be better to double-check the rest of the website. Check Out the Social Media Links Social media is a core part of ecommerce businesses these days and consumers often expect online shops to have a social media presence. Scammers know this and often insert logos of social media sites on their websites. Scratching beneath the surface often reveals this fu</div></div><div class=col-auto><a class="btn-solid--red btn--wide btn__link" href=https://www.scamadviser.com/articles/how-to-recognize-a-scam-website><div>Read more</div></a></div></div></div></div><div class="block block__inner--small-bottom"><div class="tile h-100"><div class="row h-100 flex-column"><div class=col><div class=tile__body><div class=mb-25><a class=text-decoration-none href=https://www.scamadviser.com/articles/how-do-i-get-money-back-from-a-scammer><h4 class=mb-0>How Do I Get Money Back From a Scammer?</h4></a></div><p class=tile__excerpt>So the worst has come to pass - you realise you parted with your money too fast, and the site you used was a scam - what now? Well first of all, don’t despair!! If you think you have been scammed, the first port of call when having an issue is to simply ask for a refund. This is the first and easiest step to determine whether you are dealing with a genuine company or scammers. Sadly, getting your money back from a scammer is not as simple as just asking. If you are indeed dealing with scammers, the procedure (and chance) of getting your money back varies depending on the payment method you used. PayPal Debit card/Credit card Bank transfer Wire transfer Google Pay Bitcoin PayPal If you used PayPal, you have a strong chance of getting your money back if you were scammed. On their website, you can file a dispute within 180 calendar days of your purchase. Conditions to file a dispute: The simplest situation is that you ordered from an online store and it has not arrived. In this case this is what PayPal states: "If your order never shows up and the seller can't provide proof of shipment or delivery, you'll get a full refund. It's that simple." The scammer has sent you a completely different item. For example, you ordered a PlayStation 4, but instead received only a Playstation controller. The condition of the item was misrepresented on the product page.
